Karabakh Will See a New War If Armenia Suspends Its Participation in NK Settlement: Surenyants

The Nagorno Karabakh conflict will see new developments, should Armenia suspend the rapprochement with Turkey, member of the political council of the Republic Party of Suren Surenyants said at a press conference today.

“Things have unfolded in a way that by suspending the Armenia-Turkey normalization, I am afraid, Armenian authorities may face the imperative of solving the Karabakh issue earlier. If Armenia decides to suspend its participation also in the Karabakh settlement process, it may pose such a destructive threat as the resumption of the war,” said Surenyants.

Surenyants considered nonsense explanations by the Armenian authorities as if they suspended the normalization with Turkey in an attempt to ease the pressure over the Karabakh conflict.

“Despite whether or not there is an Armenian-Normalization, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has existed, does exist and will exist in the future. I will say more, Azerbaijan’s and Turkey’s approaches will come closer after Armenia’s suspension with Turkey, and the NK settlement process will become more active,” concluded Surenyants.
